Vengeance

 Every single passenger in the bus protested as the driver insisted on waiting for the woman that morning. The woman however seemed unbothered, and took her time getting into the bus. When she finally climbed into the bus she stopped at the door and observed everyone seated with an unmistakable sneer on her broad face. 

There was nothing fascinating about her really, except that she was wearing an unbelievably thick red sweater which was a complete mismatch for the weather as the sun was up earlier than usual and was already shimmering with it's radiant morning heat. Also, the woman had a dog in her brown and odd-looking handbag. Which was a rare sight since most people around that area did not own dogs, and the very few who did always kept their dogs at home. Yet there she was with her dog and all. She had even taken her time to put a red bow on the dog's head. With this, it was clear she didn't belong there; she was a stranger.

Apart from the dog and the red sweater, there was nothing unusual about her. She was just a six-feet tall massive bulk of moving fat and her choice clothes did nothing at all to hide her shapelessness. Eventually, she settled down in a seat near a window, nearly squeezing the other passengers on the seat. Her her was packed in a no-nonsense style with a red ribbon as well. 

Her small eyes were clouded with grief but she consoled her self with the notion that she would finally get justice for her son's death. After waiting in vain for the law to do so, she decided to do it herself. And she was really close, since the perpetrators were currently on the bus with her. One of them being the bus driver. 

As she stroked the head of the dog absentmindedly, her hand came to rest on the red bow on its head. Her son had gifted the bow to the dog and not so long after, he was murdered. Now, she would unleash the dog in the bus as she dealt with the murderers. 

The bus reached its first stop. She got up nimbly despite her large size and moved towards the door. But she didn't exit bus. She blocked the door and turned to face her co-passengers. From beneath her red sweater, she pulled out a gun and sent the driver to the great beyond. 

Then she ordered everyone else to remain seated, when they tried to protest, she raised up her sweater to reveal a mini-arsenal of guns. The passengers were too intimidated to refuse so they resumed their seats as she and her dog fished out the other killers.

EARNED NOT GIVEN

"A clinical pharmacist is just one surgery away from being a medical doctor." One of my friends once asserted boldly. Now, you do not have to agree with this, in fact, I did not agree with her at that time and I still don't. But I definitely got the message; the roles of pharmacists have expanded steadily over the years. And pharmacists now do far more than just sitting moodily behind a counter and dispensing drugs.   When we hear "desert," sand and dust instantly float into our minds that we almost sneeze in response. Similarly, people always think about drugs when the word "Pharmacist" is mentioned. In fact, the word "drug" (or drugs) is present in nearly all the definitions of a pharmacist. As for those definitions that do not have drugs, the word "medicine" (or medicines) stands in its place. As a result, phrases like "Legal Drug Dealer" and "Custodian of Drugs" have become fancy titles for pharmacist...

STUDYING DA VINCI.

 Otaru Testimony Afigie Admittedly, it would a bit odd if an engineer were to be the painter of the world's most famous painting. Things would even get weirder if this engineer also practiced as an anatomist, a chemist, a mathematician, an architect, and a sculptor. But with Leornado da Vinci, this was very normal. In fact da Vinci was much more than these.  Leonardo da Vinci was a multi-talented man and has been described by man as being 'strikingly handsome'. He was known for his trademark beards which were said to reach his shoulders. Even though he suffered from stroke and latter became paralyzed in his right hand, he conjured so many wonders with his left hand in both writings, drawings and paintings some of which are yet to be fully understood. Yes, he was left-handed, and this together with a lot of other numerous instances have made people to conclude that southpaws are special. (But we know that there are lots of right-handed people who are special too, you for ins...

Fields of Glory: Faculty of Agriculture Plows Through Faculty of Physical Sciences with a 4-0 Victory

  By Otaru Testimony Afigie When the Faculties of Agriculture and Physical Sciences collided in the latest round of fixtures one thing was certain- one of the teams would go home bruised. And so it was as the Faculty of Agriculture emerged 4-0 winners in this one-sided contest.  The match was evenly balanced in it's early stages as both teams surged forward without any side actually controlling the game.  The Physical Science team eventually lived up to their name as they completely dominated the midfield thanks to heroics from Anora, who dictated proceedings from her centre-midfield role. Another stand out player for Physical Science in this period was Divine. Divine consistently terrorised the Agric defenders on the left wing.  Unfortunately, Divine was prone to excessive showboating and was eventually identified as a threat prompting the Agric team to mark her tightly. Consequently Divine was pocketed and largely kept quiet for most parts of the game except for he...
